Super Special Fandom Challenge

kleenexwomanI'm not sure how many people actually read my journal. From the comments, I'd say maybe ten, total, but there are more people that have me on their friendlist than that. And of course people who read and don't comment. Wouldn't it rock if LJ had a "times this page was viewed" function, or something?
Well, I'm putting this up anyway. It's a fic challenge meme. Drabbles, what have you. And it's all ganked from my personal playlist. Take as many titles as you want, please, please, please, and tell me when you write them.
Alternately, give me a fandom and/or a summary for each one and I'll attempt (ATTEMPT) to write it. And if you don't feel like writing it, send this to your friends and say, "Ha ha, this silly girl says she'll write fic, why don't you give her a weird challenge and see what she does?"

It wasn't the differences that grated on his nerves so much as it was the eerie similarities. The whole house was a distorted family album, a grotesque fairy tale of success that had created a yawning gap between his parents as he knew them before and as he knew them in their present incarnations: in the after.
Marty wasn't used to thinking about such esoteric concerns, and it frustrated him that the kitchen table made him shiver with morbid recognition or that he could bob his head in time with the peculiar rhythm of his father's laugh. He'd thought, at first, that the changes would be the most daunting part of his readjustment; but after several weeks of constant tension, he wondered whether 'readjustment' might have been too optimistic a goal.
He felt like a stranger, an amnesiac, trying to memorize seventeen years of his own history and intra-familial political struggles. Life, he felt, was a tricky enough game without feeling continually out-of-the-loop, without having to play the outsider every waking moment--except, of course, for those sneaky agents of familiarity that were less comforting than they were threatening.
It had never been illustrated so clearly for him: it hurt to let go of the past. His parents--his new parents--thought he was sick or depressed; they had no way of knowing what was really causing his perpetual melancholy. And he didn't care. Drugs, a brain tumor, they could think what they liked. His mother could nag at him forever for all the difference it made, since in this new world she pried gently and without a trace of bitterness.
But every time his father hugged him, trying his hardest to be comforting, Marty felt a little piece of himself wither and die and fall away into the vortex of time; his father's arms, hands, chest and neck had not changed in the slightest.
